>And why should we hire you for our PhD position?
>The question you should be asking me is why should I accept your offer. You have a group of 20 postgrads working for you; whether PhD candidate No. 21 is 10% better or worse than the other guy you rejected won't really affect you.
>But me, giving you 4 years of my 20s for a qualification, will significantly affect me. I could be doing much nicer things in my 20s than working for you 9-5. So the question is, why should I spend the years where I am the healthiest and most energetic for you? Your initial question is a huge red flag, showcasing the wageslave mentality you expect your students to have.
>Thus, I shall reject your offer even if you make one. Gentlemen, thank you for your time.
